Bay State Gas seeks larger capital amid insurance bill defeat

In a Boston session the Senate amended a Bay State Gas Co capital increase from 500000 to 2500000, sending the bill to a third reading on a 28 to 5 vote. The House rejected the assessment insurance bill and debated street railway labor hours, adopting an amendment for extra pay for overtime. Auditors in probate courts prompt further discussion as lawmakers split on the sick benefits issue, while conductors and drivers on street rails won an overtime access measure by 92 to 76 and 100 to 70 before the bill's third-reading push.

District Conventions Reveal Local Republican Drama

The fourth district Republican convention in Boston functioned like a mini Chicago before choosing delegates. Noyes refused a Chicago candidacy yet ran as delegate. Gove led the room, then receded. In Chelsea and Lowell, Littlefield McCall and Sargent were also elected by informal ballots and formal rounds, amid disputes over declarations and ballots.
